Question:

We normally think of the one-dimensional well as being horizontal. Suppose it is vertical; then the potential energy of the particle depends on x because of the presence of the gravitational field. Calculate the first-order correction to the zero-point energy, and evaluate it for an electron in a box on the surface of the Earth. Account for the result.
